Meet Nat

A Queer Neurodivergent therapist in Nashville meeting you where you are

Hi, I’m Nat (they/them)! Whether you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, your own body, or other people, we can build a collaborative therapeutic relationship and work toward your unique goals. As a Queer Neurodivergent therapist, I specialize in helping facilitate greater self-understanding for members of the Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities.

Discovering myself as a Trans and Neurodivergent person in a safe therapeutic relationship led me to become a therapist myself.

I am trained in Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR and also utilize other evidence based practices to support clients. Practicing from a trauma-informed, sex-positive, and Neurodiversity-affirming framework is fundamental to all the work I do with my clients. I view safety, curiosity, and collaboration as foundational aspects of the therapeutic relationship. 

If you are wanting to learn how to better support yourself as a Neurodivergent or Queer person, we can craft therapeutic goals specific to your needs. Or perhaps you have recently gotten a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, or ARFID, and wanting to explore what that means for you. My experience in Autism education and advocacy equips me to support people who are Neurodivergent or wondering if they may be.

I know reaching out for support can be hard, and I hope to foster a therapeutic space where you feel seen, valued, and understood! Please click the link to schedule a free consultation!
